Vietnam – Craft villages – A kiln in Dai Trach brick making village
By Tessa Bunney on 6 November 2014
Brick kilns, Dai Trach village, Bach Ninh province, Vietnam. Brick kilns have been sited along the Duong river for over a hundred years. They are usually located by rivers, not only to enable clay extraction directly from the river bed but also for transport by boat to where they are needed. Only men make bricks and usually it is the women who do the back breaking job of loading and unloading the brick kilns.
